Chapter 66: The Shape of Happiness (3)
Thinking back on everything, leaving aside other things, Yin Yin felt like she had overlooked something in the matter between Han Ji and Zhou Yan. Should she treat their efforts so coldly? Was it really necessary to do so? What was she afraid of?
Xiuying was sitting next to Yinyin, watching the different expressions on Yinyin's face changing. No matter how they changed, the only thing that remained unchanged was the pain she was thinking about.
"Princess——"
There was no response at the first call.
"Princess?"
There was no response the second time.
"Princess!!"
"Huh? Sooyoung? What's wrong?"
Yinyin seemed to be awakened from her deep thoughts. Xiuying's third voice was a little loud, which made Yinyin wake up.
"Oh, Princess, can you please stop closing your heart so tightly?"
Before speaking, Xiuying took a deep breath and her expression became very serious.
"Why do you say that?"
"There are many things you may not be able to discover yourself, but I have always been by your side, watching you. You always keep a certain distance from others, and never let anyone get into your heart. I think this may be more or less related to your amnesia . However, you can't always hold a muddy and watery attitude towards everything. It is because of this attitude that King Zhou and Prince Jing are crazy about you. Although I don't know what will happen if you completely reject them, you have an obligation to do so. If there is really no true love for them, it is better to end it early, otherwise it will only implicate more people, and Princess Han Ji is one of them. Maybe you have your own reasons, so are you willing to see Princess Han Ji suffer? Are you sure you won't suffer as well?"
Xiuying said all this because she knew the real Yinyin. Originally, she just planned to watch from the sidelines. The life and death and pain of others had nothing to do with her. However, Yinyin would also suffer. Once she was in pain, it would not be a matter for herself. Xiuying, who knew everything, would certainly not say it out loud. At least she hoped that the current Yinyin could face it honestly. Avoiding it blindly would not change anything at all.
"Han Ji...sister——"
Yinyin's heart sank at Xiuying's words. Reason? She didn't know if it really existed. The only thing she could be sure of was that she did keep a distance from others. Thinking back to the pain in Han Ji's expression when they said goodbye, Yinyin's heart ached. Could it be that her silence would hurt someone who had nothing to do with her? In that case, Zhou Cheng also had a queen. Did she not only cause Zhou Cheng pain when she didn't know about it, but also caused unimaginable pain to that person? She only considered herself in everything. Couldn't she see the pain of those irrelevant people? Maybe she didn't see Xia Ningshuang's pain, but what about Han Ji? Such a gentle and virtuous person, her pain, can Yinyin continue to pretend to be blind?
"This is not all your fault, so you don't need to be so sad."
Xiuying's words sounded like she was trying to comfort him. She didn't regret what she had just said, but it sounded like there was a deeper meaning behind it. When Yinyin wasn't paying attention, Xiuying recalled her previous conversation with Wang Ye. That was after the destruction of Diaoyu Island, when she learned from Zhao Ziheng, who had saved her, that Yinyin was still alive and why those people were killed tragically...
--remember--
"Brother Ye, why do you still want to look for her? What's so good about a woman like her who is ungrateful and vain? Is it worth it for you and Master Li to take the risk to look for her? What will happen if you find her? If I see her, I might want to kill her."
"Xiuying, people are not just judged by appearance."
"Did Brother Ye forget how those villagers died?"
"I know, but this is unchangeable. Don't you know this after spending so much time with Miss Wang? Do you really think she is ungrateful and vain? Speaking of vanity, who do you think can satisfy her better, a prince or a monarch?"
Xiuying was silent. After knowing the identities of Yinyin and Zhao Ziheng , everything was beyond her imagination. What she could not accept was that a prince killed all the villagers on the island, including Zhao Ziheng, for a woman, a newly married woman. Of course, Zhao Ziheng was lucky to survive. So many people died, but Yinyin could still stay by Zhou Yan's side as if nothing had happened. She really couldn't understand it, and she couldn't understand it either. The same went for Zhao Ziheng. A woman who abandoned him was actually desperate to find her. What could he do even if he found her?
"You have to know that this is not her fault, nor is it the fault of those villagers. This is reality and fate, and they have no choice."
"No, even if you say so, I won't forgive her. Anyway, I will see her tomorrow. Unless you lock me up, I will kill her. Even if I can't kill her, I will curse her."
"Xiuying, when did you become so unreasonable?"
"I'm not being unreasonable. It's you, Brother Ye, who is unreasonable. Why did you follow Master Li and the others here? If you are discovered, you will die, right?"
"Forget it, you'll know when you see her tomorrow ."
" I will kill her when I see her tomorrow ."
The tough attitude could not mediate. Xiuying was unwilling to listen to Wang Ye's words, because she could not accept that the villagers she had lived with for so long were massacred overnight, all for a woman they had saved...
